David and I stayed at El Colibri Cabinas in February for a week and would definitely come back when we visit Costa Rica again. We stayed in the most private cabina with kitchenette at the end near the side road. The cabina is a perfect size for two or three. Large bathroom and shower. Lots of storage for clothes and... More

I've stayed at Cabinas el Colibri 3 times, and I'll continue to visit it on the upcoming vacations to Puerto Carrillo. They offer a couple of fully equipped rooms, so you don't have to worry about getting out for dinner or having a cold beer. The pool is somehow intimate, and my GF loved it because the watter was always... More

El Colibri cabinas are very basic motel style rooms. We booked a room for four with fridge but on arrival were told that it was no longer available. Food is outstanding. Best part is vicinity to Play Carrillo beach.

We loved our time at Cabinas El Colibri. The room was clean and very comfortably furnished, with a lovely bathroom, hot shower and AC. We enjoyed being able to prepare some simply meals using the well-equipped kitchen. The breakfasts were delicious: eggs, frijoles, pancakes, fresh fruit juices - yum! The pool area was small but pleasant. The atmosphere was very... More

I think this little hotel is a gem. It's clean, intimate, attractive, and the staff are friendly. The owners are happy to oblige if you have a question or request. I am visiting here in Nov so it is very quiet and peaceful. If you are looking for a quiet time, away from the hubbub of tourists, this is it.... More

we stayed at this hotel for 3 days during a 10 day trip to Costa Rica. We stayed in one of the rooms with a kitchen and really enjoyed being able to do our own cooking. There is a little grocery store up the road that has all that you need. I also noticed that the grocery store is not... More

The restaurant is one of the better ones in the area - but not the rooms. Off a dusty road with no views and behind the restaurant. Over priced for what you get and although many people find the owners to be lovely people we found them a bit cool. Stay there if you can't find another place, but just... More

We stayed at this hotel for three nights in March with our two young children. It is a nice place and a good value. We stayed in a room with one double bed and two single beds. The room was pretty basic, but clean and fine with working AC and hot water. The hotel does not have an ocean view... More
